The identification of structural damage with the unavailability of input excitations is highly desired but challenging since structural dynamic responses are affected by the coupling effect of structural parameters and external excitations. To deal with this issue, in this paper, an output-only damage identification strategy based on swarm intelligence algorithms and correlation functions of strain responses is proposed to identify structures subjected to single or multiple unknown white noise excitations. In the proposed strategy, four different population-based optimization algorithms-particle swarm optimization, the butterfly optimization algorithm, the tree seed algorithm, and a micro search Jaya (MS-Jaya)-are employed and compared. The micro search mechanism is integrated into a basic Jaya algorithm to improve its computational efficiency and accuracy by eliminating some damage variables with small values for the identified best solution after several iterations. The objective function is established based on the proposed auto/cross-correlation function of strain responses and a penalty function. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with numerical studies on a simply supported beam structure and a steel grid benchmark structure under ambient excitation. In addition, the effect of the reference point, number of sensors, and arrangement of strain gauges on the performance of the proposed method are discussed in detail. The investigated results demonstrate that the proposed approach can accurately detect, locate, and quantify structural damage with limited sensors and 20% noise-polluted strain responses. In particular, the proposed MS-Jaya algorithm presents a more superior capacity in solving the optimization-based damage identification problem than the other three algorithms.

This paper aims to predict the financial time series. swarm intelligence algorithms usually use metadata to ensure objectivity without the statistical assumptions of the data. This paper proposed a prediction algorithm integrating multiple support vector regression (SVR) models. The algorithm selects different datasets to train these SVR models. This algorithm also adopts reasonable weights to combine the forecasting results of multiple models to reduce the overall prediction error. The weight of each model is dynamically adjusted according to its recent prediction accuracy. Therefore, this algorithm is adaptive and can deal with nonstationary problems. Five international authoritative stock indexes are used to compare the hybrid SVR model with a single SVR model for performance validation from the perspectives of normalized mean squared error, weighted directional symmetry, and root mean squared error. The results demonstrate that the hybrid SVR model has significantly improved the prediction accuracy and generalization ability of the prediction algorithm compared with a single SVR model. It reveals that selecting the appropriate input vector can achieve an excellent prediction effect.

swarmintelligence (SI) algorithms are frequently applied to tackle complex optimization problems. SI is especially used when good solutions are requested for NP hard problems within a reasonable response time. And when such problems possess a very high dimensionality, a dynamic nature, or present intrinsic complex intertwined independent variables, computational costs for SI algorithms may still be too high. Therefore, new approaches and hardware support are needed to speed up processing. Nowadays, with the popularization of GPU and multi-core processing, parallel versions of SI algorithms can provide the required performance on those though problems. This paper aims to describe the state of the art of such approaches, to summarize the key points addressed, and also to identify the research gaps that could be addressed better. The scope of this review considers recent papers mainly focusing on parallel implementations of the most frequently used SI algorithms. The use of nested parallelism is of particular interest, since one level of parallelism is often not sufficient to exploit the computational power of contemporary parallel hardware. The sources were main scientific databases and filtered accordingly to the set requirements of this literature review.

As a rule, approaches to managing the preparation of learners for programming Olympiads are not intended for intelligent interactive support from learning management and the software tools based on these approaches do not allow efficient processing of information for shaping individual and team preparation trajectories and providing this information to learners. This study proposes a method of organizing the intelligent management of preparation for programming Olympiads, based on the system-level approach, organizational systems control theory, and implementation of the entire IT specialist training cycle, including the phases of planning, organization, control, and motivation. It is proposed to adaptively shape learning trajectories and adjust them on the basis of swarm intelligence algorithms modified to include features for managing the training of learners for programming Olympiads. It is proposed to shape individual learning trajectories for participants in individual Olympiads on the basis of a modified firefly algorithm and team learning trajectories for participants in team Olympiads on the basis of a modified fish school search algorithm. It is also proposed to supplement the training process with recommendations and exercises selected by the results of psychological testing and intended to develop the personal and psychological qualities of the learners. The recommendations are followed throughout the preparation process until the threshold values of personal and psychological qualities necessary for participation in an Olympiad are reached.

Text document clustering refers to the unsupervised classification of textual documents into clusters based on content similarity and can be applied in applications such as search optimization and extracting hidden information from data generated by IoT sensors. swarmintelligence (SI) algorithms use stochastic and heuristic principles that include simple and unintelligent individuals that follow some simple rules to accomplish very complex tasks. By mapping features of problems to parameters of SI algorithms, SI algorithms can achieve solutions in a flexible, robust, decentralized, and self-organized manner. Compared to traditional clustering algorithms, these solving mechanisms make swarmalgorithms suitable for resolving complex document clustering problems. However, each SI algorithm shows a different performance based on its own strengths and weaknesses. In this paper, to find the best performing SI algorithm in text document clustering, we performed a comparative study for the PSO, bat, grey wolf optimization (GWO), and K-means algorithms using six data sets of various sizes, which were created from BBC Sport news and 20 newsgroups. Based on our experimental results, we discuss the features of a document clustering problem with the nature of SI algorithms and conclude that the PSO and GWO SI algorithms are better than K-means, and among those algorithms, the PSO performs best in terms of finding the optimal solution.

This study introduces a new technique for sparse signal reconstruction. In general, there are two classes of algorithms in the recovery of sparse signals: greedy approaches and l(1)-minimization methods. The proposed method employs swarmintelligence based techniques for sparse signal reconstruction. With this technique, the proposed method tries to find nonzero entries of a sparse signal. In addition, it uses least square method to obtain the magnitude of the reconstructed signal. In this study, artificial bee colony and particle swarm optimization algorithms are employed for the reconstruction of sparse signals. The algorithms are tested on some benchmark problems and empirical results for a number of test cases are obtained. In addition, the reconstruction performances of these two algorithms are compared with l(1) minimization, greedy algorithms and several lately announced methods. According to the results of the tests and comparisons, the proposed method for artificial bee colony and particle swarm optimization algorithms have better performance than the classical methods for some test cases and it can be used to recover sparse signals in general. Additionally, this method can be used to recover a sparse signal when classical methods fail to reconstruct the signal for some cases. (C) 2020 Karabuk University.

The widespread integration of software into all parts of our lives has led to the need for software of higher reliability. Ensuring reliable software usually necessitates some form of formal methods in the early stages of the development process which requires strenuous effort. Hence, researchers in the field of software reliability introduced Software Reliability Growth Models (SRGMs) as a relatively inexpensive approach to software reliability prediction. Conventional parameter estimation methods of SRGMs were ineffective and left more to be desired. Consequently, researchers sought out swarmintelligence to combat its flaws, resulting in significant improvements. While similar surveys exist within the domain, the surveys are broader in scope and do not cover many swarm intelligence algorithms. Moreover, the broader scope has resulted in the occasional omission of information regarding the design for reliability predictions. A more comprehensive survey containing 38 studies and 18 different swarm intelligence algorithms in the domain is presented. Each design proposed by the studies was systematically analyzed where relevant information including the measures used, datasets used, SRGMs used, and the effectiveness of each proposed design, were extracted and organized into tables and taxonomies to be able to identify the current trends within the domain. Some notable findings include the distance-based approach providing a high prediction accuracy and an increasing trend in hybridized variants of swarm intelligence algorithms designs to predict software reliability. Future researchers are encouraged to include Mean Square Error (MSE) or Root MSE as the measures offer the largest sample size for comparison.

Revolutions in human activities and lifestyles result in a transition from conventional to intelligent residential building infrastructure. Conventional heating, ventilation, and air con-ditioning (HVAC), refrigerator and lighting system challenges are addressed without taking into account building heat gains, outdoor illuminance, and temperature. Based on these param-eters, a mathematical model for cost estimation of residential building energy consumption, considering indoor heat gains, outdoor temperature, outdoor illuminance, and TOU price has been developed. A total of 46 swarmintelligence based optimization algorithms are used to optimize different building parameters. These swarm intelligence algorithms (SIA) are compared using the convergence curves, statistical and box-plot analysis and the Bald Eagle search (BES) algorithm is found to be the best algorithm among all 46 SIAs. The mean energy consumption costs of the best algorithm, BES, and the worst algorithm, fireworks algorithm (FA) are found to be Rs. 8.85 and Rs. 12.98, respectively. In addition, economic analysis has been conducted for the proposed study and it is compared with the existing models with building energy management systems (BEMS) and conventional model (without BEMS). It is observed that, based on this analysis, the cost savings achieved by the proposed study are nearer to 34% and 57% as compared to existing and conventional models.
